Looking for a new game to play well into the weekend while I hit up Chicago for the Queens of the Stone Age show? You are? Boy, do I have a sale for you! Hit up the PlayStation Store this weekend early for some sweet deals, including BioShock, Red Dead Redemption,Duke Nukem Forever, GTA IV, and L.A. Noire for just $5 apiece. You could buy a cheap McDonald's lunch, or you could start a new game. Priorities, people, and I think we all know where ours lie.

PlayStation Plus is not required to take advantage of this deal, and there's something for everyone if you look hard enough. The Mark of Kri is a good buy if you haven't picked it up, and Spec Ops: The Line is an interesting romp with a pleasing twist. Either way, it's $5! Rack 'em up, homie!

Check out the full selection via the webstore here and let us know what you snap up.
